Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Socke, insbesondere zum Einsatz bei sportlichen Aktivitäten, die bereichsweise eine Polsterung aufweist.The invention relates to a sock, in particular for use in sports activities, which has a padding in some areas.

Die Anatomie des menschlichen Fußes bietet von Natur aus auf seiner Fußsohle Fettpolster, die beim Gehen oder Laufen eine Stoßminderung hervorrufen. Die übrigen Bereiche des Fußes, beispielsweise die Knöchel oder der Spann weisen keine solche Fettpolster auf. Diese natürliche Ausgestaltung des Fußes ist auf das Gehen oder Laufen ohne Schuhwerk, also barfuß ausgelegt, da hierbei allein eine Verteilung des Drucks an der Fußsohle erforderlich ist. Die menschlichen Füße sind jedoch häufig in festem Schuhwerk untergebracht. Dies insbesondere dann, wenn der Mensch sich viel und schnell bewegt, beispielsweise bei sportlichen Aktivitäten. Das Schuhwerk dient dabei einerseits zur Abfederung von Stößen sowie zur festen Fixierung des Fußes, andererseits zur Verhinderung von Verletzungen an der Fußsohle durch das Auftreten auf spitze Unebenheiten oder Gegenstände auf dem Boden.The anatomy of the human foot naturally provides fat pads on the sole of his foot, which cause an impact when walking or running. The other areas of the foot, for example, the ankle or the instep have no such fat pads. This natural design of the foot is designed to walk or run without shoes, so barefoot, since this alone a distribution of pressure on the sole of the foot is required. However, the human feet are often housed in sturdy shoes. This especially if the person moves a lot and fast, for example during sports activities. The footwear serves on the one hand to cushion shocks and for firm fixation of the foot, on the other hand to prevent injuries to the sole by the occurrence of sharp bumps or objects on the floor.

Sind die Füße in festem Schuhwerk untergebracht, treten an den Füssen Druckstellen auf. Diese Druckstellen resultieren aus der Schnürung des Schuhs, der Lasche, Stößen an der Ferse u. dgl. Die Schuhe bilden dabei je nach ihrer Beschaffenheit unterschiedliche Druckzonen aus. Da diese Druckzonen nicht an der Fußsohle auftreten, sind dort keine natürlichen Polster in Form von Fettpölsterchen vorhanden.If the feet are housed in sturdy shoes, there are pressure points on the feet. These bruises result from the lacing of the shoe, the tab, bumps on the heel u. Like. The shoes form depending on their nature different pressure zones. Since these pressure zones do not occur on the sole of the foot, there are no natural cushions in the form of flab.

Zur Reduzierung der Druckbelastung auf den Fuß ist es bekannt, an Socken Polster vorzusehen. Diese Polster sollen eine Reduzierung der Druckbelastung ermöglichen. So ist beispielsweise aus der WO 97/09890 A eine Socke mit verstärktem Fußauftrittsbereich bekannt, bei der die Verstärkung im Wesentlichen eine der Fußauftrittsfläche entsprechende Kontur aufweist. Die Socke bietet dadurch eine zusätzliche Dämpfung; da der Fuß von Natur aus jedoch im Bereich der Fußauftrittsfläche mit Fettpölsterchen versehen ist, bedarf es theoretisch einer solchen Polsterung im Fußauftrittsbereich nicht. Darüber hinaus ist es bekannt (vgl. DE 297 15 762 U1 ) in anderen Bereichen der Socken Polsterungen vorzusehen, also beispielsweise auf dem Spann oder für den Fall, dass Schuhe getragen werden, die über den Knöchel hinausgehen, beispielsweise beim Wandern, Skilaufen, Inlineskating und dergleichen, Polster im Bereich der Schienbeine bzw. Waden vorzusehen. Auch diese Polsterungen sollen eine Reduzierung der Belastung hervorrufen.To reduce the pressure on the foot, it is known to provide padding on socks. These pads should allow a reduction of the pressure load. For example, from the WO 97/09890 A a sock with reinforced foot area known, in which the reinforcement has a substantially corresponding contour of the foot surface. The sock thus provides additional damping; however, since the foot is naturally provided with flab in the area of the foot surface, theoretically such cushioning is not required in the foot area. In addition, it is known (cf. DE 297 15 762 U1 ) to provide padding in other areas of the socks, so for example on the instep or in the event that shoes are worn, which go beyond the ankle, for example, when hiking, skiing, inline skating and the like, provide cushion in the region of the shins or calves. These upholstery should also cause a reduction in stress.

Die DE 200 16 825 U1 offenbart in erster Linie eine Schuh-Socken-Kombination, bei der der Schuh mindestens eine Klimazone aufweist, die einen Luftaustausch ermöglicht, und bei der die Socke mindestens eine Klimazone aufweist, die einen Luftaustausch ermöglicht, wobei die Anordnung der Klimazonen des Schuhs und der Klimazonen der Socke aufeinander abgestimmt sind. Die Socke zeigt einen Fußteil und einen Schaft, wobei das Fußteil einen Zehenbereich, einen Fersenbereich und einen zwischen Zehen- und Fersenbereich gelegenen Auftrittsbereich umfasst. Ferner weist die Socke bereichsweise eine Polsterung auf, wobei Polster beschrieben werden, die von Absorptionspolstern gebildet sind, und zwischen denen eine Art Steg vorgesehen ist.The DE 200 16 825 U1 discloses primarily a shoe-sock combination in which the shoe has at least one climate zone that allows air exchange, and in which the sock has at least one climate zone that allows air exchange, the arrangement of the climatic zones of the shoe and the climatic zones the sock are matched. The sock features a foot portion and a shaft, wherein the foot portion includes a toe area, a heel area, and a tread area located between the toe and heel areas. Furthermore, the sock has regions of a padding, wherein pads are described, which are formed by Absorptionspolstern, and between which a kind of web is provided.

Um die Druckbelastung beim Tragen von Schuhen zusätzlich zu reduzieren, sind insbesondere bei modernen Sportschuhen Aufpolsterungen an den Schuhen vorgesehen. So sind beispielsweise die Schuh-Laschen mit weichem Material ausgepolstert. Gleiches gilt für die in der Regel harte Kante im Bereich der Ferse. Bei wadenhohen Schuhen ist darüber hinaus häufig im Bereich der Knöchel eine zusätzliche Aufpolsterung vorgesehen, um hier die Druckbelastung zu reduzieren.In order to additionally reduce the pressure load when wearing shoes, upholstery is provided on the shoes, especially in modern sports shoes. For example, the shoe tabs are padded with soft material. The same applies to the usually hard edge in the area of the heel. In calf-high shoes, moreover, additional padding is often provided in the area of the ankle in order to reduce the pressure load.

Bei der Kombination der genannten modernen Sportschuhe mit den bekannten Socken, die Polsterungen zur Druckentlastung aufweisen, tritt nun folgendes Problem auf: Sowohl die Schuhe als auch die Socken sind in den Bereichen größter Belastung aufgepolstert, also insbesondere im Bereich des Spanns, der Knöchel, der Achillessehne u. dgl. Da sowohl die Schuhe als auch die Socken in den gleichen Bereichen des Fußes eine zusätzliche Polsterung aufweisen, ist eine Doppel-Polsterung in diesen Bereichen hervorgerufen. Dies führt jedoch in der Regel nicht zu einer Entlastung des Fußes; vielmehr ruft diese Doppel-Polsterung eine zusätzliche Druckbelastung am Fuß hervor, was zu einer Verringerung des Tragekomforts und daraus resultierender schnellerer Ermüdung führt. Dies wirkt den eigentlichen Zielen der Polsterung von Socken bzw. Schuhen, nämlich eine Entlastung hervorzurufen, entgegen.In the combination of said modern sports shoes with the well-known socks, which have padding for pressure relief, now the following problem occurs: Both the shoes and the socks are padded in the areas of greatest stress, ie in particular in the region of the instep, the ankle, the Achilles tendon u. Like. Since both the shoes and the socks in the same areas of the foot have additional padding, a double padding is caused in these areas. However, this does not usually relieve the foot; Rather, this double padding causes an additional pressure load on the foot, which leads to a reduction in wearing comfort and resulting faster fatigue. This counteracts the actual goals of the upholstery of socks or shoes, namely to cause relief.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Socke mit bereichsweiser Polsterung zu schaffen, die eine Doppel-Polsterung vermeidet.The invention aims to remedy this situation. The invention has for its object to provide a sock with area-wise padding, which avoids a double padding.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Socke mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a sock with the features of claim 1.

Mit der Erfindung ist eine Socke mit bereichsweiser Polsterung geschaffen, durch die eine Doppel-Polsterung vermieden ist. Infolgedessen tritt keine zusätzliche Belastung auf, vielmehr wird der gepolsterte Bereich erweitert, was eine gleichmäßige Druckverteilung zur Folge hat. Dadurch ist ein frühzeitiges Ermüden verhindert.With the invention, a sock is created with area-wise upholstery, by which a double padding is avoided. As a result, no additional load occurs, but the padded area is expanded, resulting in a uniform pressure distribution result. This prevents premature fatigue.

Erfindungsgemäß sind die Polster im Bereich des Spanns von Absorptionspolstern gebildet, zwischen denen ein Steg vorgesehen ist. Bevorzugt stehen die Absorptionspolster über den Steg hervor. Hierdurch ist gewährleistet, dass die an dem jeweiligen Schuh vorgesehene Lasche zwischen den Absorptionspolstern in getragenem Zustand angeordnet ist. Da die Laschen jeweils aufgepolstert sind, ist durch die seitliche Anordnung der Absorptionspolster eine Doppel-Polsterung vermieden. Vielmehr ergibt sich eine durchgängige Fläche die zu einer gleichmäßigen Druckverteilung führt. Dies wirkt einer vorzeitigen Ermüdung des Fußes sowie Druckstellen entgegen.According to the invention, the pads are formed in the region of the instep of absorption pads, between which a web is provided. Preferably, the absorption pads protrude beyond the bridge. This ensures that the tab provided on the respective shoe is arranged between the absorption pads in the worn state. Since the tabs are each upholstered, a double padding is avoided by the lateral arrangement of the absorbent pad. Rather, there is a continuous surface which leads to a uniform pressure distribution. This counteracts premature fatigue of the foot and pressure points.

Gemäß der Erfindung sind die Polster im Bereich der Ferse von Distanzpolstern gebildet, zwischen denen ein Steg vorgesehen ist. Vorteilhaft stehen die Distanzpolster über den Steg hervor. Hierdurch ist die Möglichkeit geschaffen, die jeweils im Bereich der Ferse des Schuhs vorgesehene Polsterung der Kante oberhalb einer in der Regel vorgesehenen Schutzkappe im Bereich des Steges zu platzieren, also im nicht bzw. weniger gepolsterten Bereich. Hierdurch ist eine Doppel-Polsterung vermieden. Die benachbarte Anordnung der Distanzpolster führt zu einer gleichmäßigen Aufpolsterung im Bereich der Ferse und damit zu einer gleichmäßigen Druckverteilung.According to the invention, the pads are formed in the region of the heel of spacer pads, between which a web is provided. Advantageously, the spacer pads protrude over the bridge. This creates the possibility of placing the padding of the edge, which is provided in each case in the region of the heel of the shoe, above a protective cap provided in the rule in the region of the web, that is to say in the non-padded or less padded region. As a result, a double padding is avoided. The adjacent arrangement of the spacer pads leads to a uniform padding in the heel and thus to a uniform pressure distribution.

In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Socke einen Luftkanal auf. Der Luftkanal trägt dazu bei, dass Feuchtigkeit verdunsten kann bzw. der nicht verdunstende Teil der Feuchtigkeit vom Gewebe aufgenommen werden kann. Darüber hinaus ist durch den Luftkanal die Möglichkeit geschaffen, die Feuchtigkeit aus dem Schuhbereich nach oben abzuführen.In an embodiment of the invention, the sock has an air channel. The air duct helps moisture evaporate or the non-evaporating part of the moisture can be absorbed by the tissue. In addition, created by the air duct, the possibility to dissipate the moisture from the shoe area upwards.

Vorteilhaft ist die Socke mit einer X-Cross-Bandage ausgerüstet. Die X-Cross-Bandage stützt den Knöchel im Übergangsbereich zwischen Bein und Fuß.Advantageously, the sock is equipped with an X-cross bandage. The X-Cross Bandage supports the ankle in the transition area between leg and foot.

Die Socke 1 weist einen Zehenbereich 11, einen Fersenbereich 12 und einen zwischen Zehen- und Fersenbereich gelegenen Auftrittsbereich 13 auf. Die Bereiche 11, 12 und 13 können, wie im Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt, aus verstärktem Material hergestellt sein. Auch die Verwendung von Materialkombinationen wie beispielsweise Schurwolle mit Elastofaserwerkstoffen, beispielsweise Elastan, ist möglich.The sock 1 has a toe area 11, a heel area 12 and an access area 13 located between the toe and heel area. The regions 11, 12 and 13 can, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, be made of reinforced material. The use of material combinations such as virgin wool with Elastofaserwerkstoffen, such as elastane, is possible.

An das Fußteil der Socke schließt sich ein Schaft an, der im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 3 oberhalb des Knöchels endet, sich in den Ausführungsbeispielen nach den Figuren 1 und 2 bis über die Wade erstreckt. An dem dem Fußteil abgewandten Ende ist der Schaft mit einem Bund 14 versehen. Vom Bund 14 geht im Ausführungsbeispiel ein Luftkanal 15 aus, der bis in den Auftrittsbereich 13 reicht und aus klimaregulierendem Netzstrickgewebe gebildet ist. Der Luftkanal 15 trägt dazu bei, Feuchtigkeit aus dem Auftrittsbereich nach oben abzuleiten. Ein solcher Luftkanal 15 kann sowohl auf der Beininnen- als auch der Beinaußenseite oder beiderseits an der Socke vorgesehen sein.At the foot of the sock, a shaft connects, according to the embodiment FIG. 3 ends above the ankle, in the embodiments of the FIGS. 1 and 2 extends over the calf. At the end facing away from the foot part of the shaft is provided with a collar 14. From the collar 14 is in the exemplary embodiment, an air duct 15, which extends into the appearance area 13 and is formed from climate-regulating net knitted fabric. The air channel 15 helps to dissipate moisture from the entrance area upwards. Such an air channel 15 may be provided both on the inside of the leg and the outside of the leg or on both sides of the sock.

Die Socke 1 kann darüber hinaus mit einer -nicht dargestellten- X-Cross-Bandage ausgerüstet sein, die aus einem elastischen klimaregulierenden Gewebe ausgebildet ist. Die X-Cross-Bandage stützt den Knöchel im Übergangsbereich zwischen Bein und Fuß.The sock 1 can also be equipped with a non-illustrated X-cross bandage, which is formed from an elastic climate-regulating fabric. The X-Cross Bandage supports the ankle in the transition area between leg and foot.

Die Socke 1 ist bereichsweise mit Polstern 2 versehen. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 ist gemäß der Erfindung ein Absorptionspolster 21 vorgesehen, das sich vom Zehenbereich über den Spann des Fußteils bis in den unteren Bereich des Schaftes der Socke erstreckt. Das Polster 21 ist seitlich zum Spann angeordnet. Auf der nicht sichtbaren Seite des in Figur 1 dargestellten Sockens 1 ist ein vergleichbares Absorptionspolster 22 vorgesehen, welches in Figur 5 erkennbar ist. Das Polster 22 hat die im Wesentlichen gleiche Form wie das in Figur 1 dargestellte Polster 21. Zwischen den Polstern 21 und 22 ist ein Steg 23 ausgebildet, der sich ebenfalls vom Zehenbereich 11 bis in den unteren Bereich des Schaftes der Socke erstreckt. Die Polster 21, 22 stehen deutlich über den Steg 23 hervor.The sock 1 is partially provided with pads 2. In the embodiment according to FIG. 1 According to the invention, an absorbent pad 21 is provided which extends from the toe area over the instep of the foot to the lower portion of the shaft of the sock. The pad 21 is arranged laterally to the instep. On the invisible side of the in FIG. 1 shown sock 1, a comparable absorbent pad 22 is provided, which in FIG. 5 is recognizable. The pad 22 has the substantially same shape as that in FIG FIG. 1 upholstery 21 shown. Between the pads 21 and 22, a web 23 is formed, which also extends from the toe area 11 into the lower region of the shaft of the sock. The pads 21, 22 are clearly above the web 23 out.

Im Bereich des Knöchels, also im Übergang zwischen Fußteil und Schaft der Socke ist ein Polster 24 vorgesehen, das eine im Wesentlichen ringförmige Ausbildung aufweist. Das ringförmige Polster 24 umschließt eine im Wesentlichen kreisförmige Fläche 25. Das Polster 24 ist derart ausgebildet, dass es deutlich über die Fläche 25 hervorsteht.In the region of the ankle, ie in the transition between the foot part and the shaft of the sock, a pad 24 is provided, which has a substantially annular configuration. The annular pad 24 encloses a substantially circular surface 25. The pad 24 is formed so that it protrudes significantly over the surface 25.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 2 sind im Bereich der Ferse an der Socke 1 zwei Distanzpolster 26, 27 angeordnet. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Form der Distanzpolster 26, 27 an die Anatomie des Fußes in diesem Bereich angeglichen. Das Distanzpolster 27 beginnt am Fersenbereich 12 und endet
an einem Steg 28, der zwischen den Distanzpolstern 26, 27 ausgebildet ist. Der Steg 28 kann aus klimaregulierendem Gewebe hergestellt sein. Die Distanzpolster 26, 27 sind derart ausgebildet, dass sie deutlich über den Steg 28 hervorstehen.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2 are in the heel on the sock 1 two spacer pads 26, 27 are arranged. In the embodiment, the shape of the spacer pads 26, 27 adapted to the anatomy of the foot in this area. The spacer pad 27 begins at the heel area 12 and ends
on a web 28, which is formed between the spacer pads 26, 27. The web 28 may be made of climate-regulating tissue. The spacer pads 26, 27 are designed such that they project clearly beyond the web 28.

Die Polster 2 sind allgemein aus Kunststoffgarnen oder Kompound-Gewebe oder- Garn oder ähnlichen Materialien hergestellt. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Polsterungen 2 der Socke 1 aus Hohlkammer-Fasern hergestellt, die mit Wolle oder Baumwolle umsponnen sind. Die Hohlkammer-Kunststoffgarne sind besonders stark stoß- und druckdämpfend. Der Auftrittsbereich 13 kann aus Mikrofasergestrick, das den Abrieb vermindern hilft, hergestellt sein. Auch im Zehen- und Fersenbereich 11,12 ist je nach Anforderung das Fußbett aus Mikrofaser hergestellt.The pads 2 are generally made of plastic yarns or compound fabrics or yarn or similar materials. In the embodiment, the padding 2 of the sock 1 are made of hollow-core fibers which are wound with wool or cotton. The hollow-chamber plastic yarns are particularly strong shock and pressure damping. The tread area 13 may be made of microfiber knit which helps to reduce abrasion. Also in the toe and heel area 11,12 depending on the requirement, the footbed made of microfiber.

Der als Ausführungsbeispiel gewählte und allgemein mit 3 bezeichnete Schuh weist bereichsweise Polster 4 auf. Er hat eine Sohle 31. Auf der Sohle 31 ist ein geschlossenes Oberteil 32 angeordnet. In getragenem Zustand (Figur 4) stützt sich der Fuß des Benutzers auf der Sohle 31 ab, während der restliche Teil des Fußes bis zum Knöchel von dem Oberteil 32 umgeben ist. Das Oberteil 32 kann aus unterschiedlichen Materialien bestehen. Während in der Vergangenheit über-wiegend Leder als Material für das Oberteil 32 verwendet worden ist, findet heute überwiegend Kunststofffasern und Kunststoffe Verwendung.The selected as an exemplary embodiment and generally designated 3 shoe has partially pad 4. He has a sole 31. On the sole 31, a closed upper part 32 is arranged. In worn condition ( FIG. 4 ), the foot of the user is supported on the sole 31, while the remaining part of the foot is surrounded to the ankle by the upper part 32. The upper part 32 may consist of different materials. While predominantly leather has been used as the material for the upper 32 in the past, plastic fibers and plastics are predominantly used today.

Das Oberteil 32 des Schuhs 3 weist eine Lasche 33 auf, über die die - nicht dargestellte - Schnürung des Schuhs erfolgt. Hierzu sind in dem Schuh Ösen 34 vor-gesehen. Die Lasche 33 ist mit einem Polster 4 in Form einer Wattierung 41 versehen, um bei einer festen Schnürung des Schuhs bzw. bei einer starken Belastung Schmerzen am Fuß des Benutzers zu verhindern. Im vorderen Bereich des Schuhs 3 ist eine Kappe 35 angeordnet. Die Kappe 35 kann aus hartem Kunststoff, Leder oder fester gewirktem Gewebe hergestellt sein. Darüber hinaus ist auch im Fersenbereich des Schuhs eine Schutzkappe vorgesehen, die mit 36 bezeichnet ist. Auch die Schutzkappe 36 kann aus festem Kunststoff, Leder oder verstärkt gewirkten Kunststofffasern hergestellt sein. Die Kappe 36 erstreckt sich in die seitlichen Bereiche des Schuhs, um der Ferse seitliche Führung zu bieten.The upper part 32 of the shoe 3 has a tab 33 over which the - not shown - lacing of the shoe takes place. For this purpose eyelets 34 are pre-seen in the shoe. The tab 33 is provided with a pad 4 in the form of a padding 41 to prevent pain in the foot of the user at a firm lacing the shoe or under a heavy load. In the front region of the shoe 3, a cap 35 is arranged. The cap 35 may be made of hard plastic, leather or solid knitted fabric. In addition, a protective cap is also provided in the heel area of the shoe, which is designated 36. The protective cap 36 may be made of solid plastic, leather or reinforced knitted plastic fibers. The cap 36 extends into the lateral regions of the shoe to provide lateral guidance for the heel.

Im Bereich zwischen den Schutzkappen 35 und 36 ist das Oberteil 32 des Schuhs aus Leder oder Kunststoff fasern hergestellt. Die aus diesem Material hergestellten Bereiche sind mit 37 bezeichnet. Die Bereiche tragen wesentlich zur Strukturfestigkeit des Oberteils des Schuhs bei. Im Bereich 37 des Oberteils 32 des Schuhs befinden sich Klimazonen 38, die in Abhängigkeit vom Anwendungsbereich des Schuhs an unterschiedlichen Stellen und in verschiedener Form undIn the area between the protective caps 35 and 36, the upper part 32 of the shoe is made of leather or plastic fibers. The areas made of this material are designated 37. The areas contribute significantly to the structural strength of the top of the shoe. In the area 37 of the upper part 32 of the shoe are climates zones 38, which, depending on the application of the shoe in different places and in various forms and

Größe vorgesehen sind. Innen sind die Bereiche 37 mit einer Polsterung 42 versehen, um den Tragekomfort zu erhöhen. Oberhalb der Schutzkappe 36 ist der Schuh 3 mit einer Polsterung 43 ausgestattet, um die Belastungen an der Ferse zu reduzieren.Size are provided. Inside, the areas 37 are provided with a padding 42 in order to increase the wearing comfort. Above the protective cap 36, the shoe 3 is provided with a padding 43 in order to reduce the loads on the heel.

Die Anordnung der Polster 2 der Socke 1 sind auf die Anordnung der Polster 4 des Schuhs 3 abgestimmt. Exemplarisch wird dies nachfolgend anhand der Absorptionspolster 21, 22 mit dem dazwischen liegenden Steg 23 einerseits und der Wattierung 41 in der Lasche 33 des Schuhs 3 erläutert (Figur 5). Die Wattierung 41 an der Lasche 33 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Breite der Lasche. Sie reicht somit auch unter den Bereich 37 und polstert in Folge dessen die Ösen 34 ab. Dem Schnitt gemäß Figur 5 ist zu entnehmen, dass durch die Wattierung 41 eine Erhöhung der Dicke der Lasche 33 erfolgt. Um eine optimale Polsterung zu schaffen, sind Absorptionspolster 21, 22 genau benachbart zur gepolsterten Lasche 33 angeordnet. Die Lasche 33 mit der Wattierung 41 liegt genau auf dem Steg 23 auf. Die Polster 21 , 22 sowie die Wattierung 41 bilden folglich eine durchgängig gleichmäßig aufgepolsterte Fläche; eine Doppel-Polsterung ist dadurch vermieden. Es findet hierdurch auch unter extremen Belastungen oder bei sehr eng geschnürten Schuhen eine gleichmäßige Druckverteilung statt, was dem Auftreten von Druckstellen und damit der Gefahr eines vorzeitigen Ermüdens entgegenwirkt.The arrangement of the pad 2 of the sock 1 are matched to the arrangement of the pad 4 of the shoe 3. As an example, this will be explained below with reference to the absorption pads 21, 22 with the intermediate web 23 on the one hand and the padding 41 in the tab 33 of the shoe 3 ( FIG. 5 ). The padding 41 on the tab 33 extends over the entire width of the tab. It thus also extends below the region 37 and consequently cushions the eyelets 34. According to the section FIG. 5 It can be seen that an increase in the thickness of the tab 33 is effected by the batting 41. In order to provide optimum padding, absorbent pads 21, 22 are located just adjacent the padded flap 33. The tab 33 with the padding 41 lies exactly on the web 23. The pads 21, 22 and the padding 41 thus form a consistently uniformly padded surface; a double padding is avoided. As a result, even under extreme loads or with very tightly laced shoes, a uniform pressure distribution takes place, which counteracts the occurrence of pressure points and thus the risk of premature fatigue.

Vergleichbar zur Wirkweise der Absorptionspolster 21, 22 sowie des Stegs 23 wirken die Distanzpolster 26, 27 in Verbindung mit dem Steg 28. Wie der Darstellung gemäß Figur 4 zu entnehmen ist, steht die Polsterung 43 oberhalb der Schutzkappe 36 des Schuhs 3 in getragenem Zustand mit der Socke 1 in Kontakt, wodurch eine Druckentlastung hervorgerufen ist. Die Distanzpolster 26, 27 sind genau benachbart zu der Polsterung 43 angeordnet; die Polsterung liegt genau im Bereich des Steges 28. Auch durch diese Ausbildung ist eine Doppel-Polsterung vermieden; gleichzeitig findet eine gleichmäßige Lastverteilung statt. Zudem ist die Ferse durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung auch unter extremen Fußbewegungen gegen Schädigungen im Bereich der Ferse geschützt.Similar to the mode of action of the absorbent pad 21, 22 and the web 23, the spacer pads 26, 27 act in conjunction with the web 28. As shown in FIG FIG. 4 it can be seen, the padding 43 is above the cap 36 of the shoe 3 in the worn state with the sock 1 in contact, whereby a pressure relief is caused. The spacer pads 26, 27 are arranged exactly adjacent to the padding 43; the padding lies exactly in the region of the web 28. Also by this training a double padding is avoided; At the same time a uniform load distribution takes place. In addition, the heel is protected by the inventive design even under extreme foot movements against damage in the heel area.

Soweit in der Beschreibung und den Ansprüchen von Socken die Rede ist, beschränkt sich die Erfindung nicht allein auf diese; vielmehr sind unter diesem Begriff auch Strümpfe, Strumpfhosen und dergleichen zu subsumieren, auf die sich die Erfindung ebenfalls bezieht. Auch beschränkt sich die Erfindung nicht allein auf die Form und Anordnung der Polster; vielmehr sind andere Anordnungen und Ausgestaltungen von Polstern abhängig von den jeweiligen Belastungsbedingungen bzw. Schuhformen vom Erfindungsgedanken ebenfalls umfasst.As far as the description and the claims of socks is mentioned, the invention is not limited to these alone; rather, under this term also stockings, tights and the like are subsumed, to which the invention also relates. Also, the invention is not limited solely to the shape and arrangement of the pads; Rather, other arrangements and configurations of upholstery depending on the particular load conditions or shoe shapes of the inventive concept are also included.
